Pros

Benefits were worked into your salary and family insurance was around 200 per month. Company paid into your 401k and gave pretty good time off allowance and annual increases. Benefits portal was easy to use, and the company seemed to recognize and award people for their hard work.

Cons

Moving up was difficult. If you turn down an advancement opportunity you were blacklisted, you will not get another chance. Most advancement opportunities are less than you are making or require more time than you are used to. They will keep you around afterwards and use you up until you quit or get broke down like their equipment.

Pros

Not many pros. Can’t think of any. People were nice at first but then they all got fired around me. Replaced countlessly.

Cons

If you are not part of “The Foot Hills” then you are already on your way out the door. This is a mafia within the company that lie to the cooperate level employees about wrecks, etc. if you aren’t part of the club and you tell cooperate the truth you get the boot.
